Waugh, Evelyn. A Tourist in Africa. First English Edition. 1960. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition—there is a minor abrasion to the flyleaf, and a price has been written in on the dust jacket flap. When one thinks of Evelyn Waugh, words like obstinate, misanthropic, xenophobic, and alcoholic come to mind—qualities that could make him a disagreeable traveling companion. He was, however, one of the greatest writers of his generation, and from the arm’s length of the page, he is wonderful company. His diary of his 1959 journey through Africa received raves from the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. This English Edition has a more attractive dust jacket than its American counterpart.
